I remember feeling a strange combination of lethargy from the pain meds and adrenaline from the circumstance. At the time, I genuinely didn’t believe the president was at fault; I felt as if the Board of Regents had cut off the tip of the iceberg to save face.

So I listened, silently, as my parents sobbed throughout the night about what had happened to their daughter two nights before.

She later dropped out of college, and developed an alcohol addiction after her video became public. A “friend” found Jane Doe 3’s video, and threatened to spread it to everyone she knew if she didn’t have sex with him. Often, the promised pay was exaggerated — and the company never had any intention to pay the victims the promised amount. Sometimes, they were stiffed thousands of dollars.
